Experience more of your potential!
Here’s a simple idea that has the power to change your life and strengthen every relationship you’re in. Stop blaming and making excuses–period.
When you blame you become a victim. You give up your power and essentially say you are helpless to direct your experiences. This may serve to momentarily lessen your guilt or responsibility. But it also serves to drain your motivation and limit your potential.
If you want to create a life filled with happiness, fulfillment and success, start taking responsibility and ask yourself how you can do better. Identify the actions you can take to create the results you want.
It’s a little uncomfortable at first and then it feels great. Give it a try. Experience more of your potential!
- Identify the situations where you blame others or make excuses.
- Look at what you could have done to create a more positive outcome and make a list of ideas.
- Experiment with your ideas and keep refining until you get the results you want.
- Pay attention to when you slip back into blaming or making excuses. And repeat.
“A man can fail many times, but he isn’t a failure
until he begins to blame someone else.”
–John Burroughs
American Naturalist (1837 – 1921)
